Entering the holiday break a week ago, the Flyers secured back-to-back wins, ensuring a happy holiday pause for a few days before resuming their current road trip. They are hoping to do the same with the turning of the calendar to 2026.

The Flames, once at the bottom of the NHL standings, have turned things around with wins in seven of their last 10 games.
Game time is at 9:30 p.m.
Travis Konecny has consistently picked up points, including five over the last four games. Two of his last three games have been multi-point games.
